 The ideal introduction to the patenting process February 13, 2001
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
29 out of 30 found this review helpful
An impressive and "reader friendly" compendium of information and instruction Nolo's Patents For Beginners is the ideal introduction to the patenting process for novice inventors and entrepreneurs. Written in plain English, the reader is provided with up-to-date principles of patent law; shown how to properly "read" a patent application; shown the nuts and bolts of patent ownership; informed what the inventor's social or economic status is irrelevant; learn how to analyze and resolve patent disputes; what patents don't inherently provide "defensive" protection; and what the fundamentals of international patent law are. Nolo's Patents For Beginners is a highly recommended addition to personal, professional, academic, corporate, and community library reference patent law collections.

This is an excellent book to get a fast and accurate overview of patents -- what they are, how they are created and defended, etc. Although some books have more detail (e.g., "Patent, Copyright & Trademark: An Intellectual Property Desk Reference") have more detail, this book condenses it into the necessary parts which are excellent for beginning jurists, expert witnesses, or someone contemplating creating a patent.
 very nice introductory book February 22, 2008

I generally like the NOLO series because the books are well-written and easy to understand for beginners. I received this book as a gift and it was valuable in learning the basics. However, I needed to learn more, so I later discovered other related books in the NOLO series. So I guess it all depends on how much you want to know as a beginner. If just the basics, then "Patents for Beginners" is adequate. If you need a deeper understanding, then I would recommend "Patent, Copyright & Trademark".
